- W2286975425 abstract "In October of 1975, the independent nations of Kiribati and Tuvalu were formed from the Gilbert and Ellice Islands colony. A decision was made to hold full population censuses in 1978 and 1979 for Kiribati and Tuvalu respectively, where the 2 nations' censuses would be as similar as possible, and would be repeated at 5 year intervals. Island geography caused many problems during data collection, due to wide population dispersal over many scattered islands, and difficulties in interisland communication. Hand processing of the census data had some advantages and many disadvantages. The main advantages of this system included that it was locally labor intensive and inexpensive, and no less time consuming than sending data to a computer center in another country for processing. Disadvantages included that it was prone to human error, tedious, required extensive planning and preparation, and a commitment to using predetermined tabulations. Additionally, storage of the collected data was unacceptably bulky and unwieldy, making the sorting of the data for further analysis nearly impossible. The author suggests that the full potential of the census data cannot be realized unless, in the future, the data are captured and stored on magnetic disks or tapes. Minicomputers are suggested as a more appropriate means of processing data for Kiribati, Tuvalu, and other small Pacific countries." @default.
